Vecio Buffet Marascutti

“Beh, dopo aver mangiato a pranzo, ci siamo ritornati la sera.”

Favourite meal I had while in Trieste at this traditional trattoria. Everything we ordered was delicious - boiled meat platter for 2, veal schnitzel & gnocchi with goulash in pictures. Very reasonably priced at €90 including a carafe of house white wine (a lot of food for 2 people but we wanted to try everything!). The restaurant was very quiet at lunchtime on a Thursday, we walked in without a reservation.

I went here for some Austrian food of Wiener Schnitzel and Sauerkraut, although I had to have salad as Sauerkraut was no longer on the menu. However, the owner was rude and arrogant from the moment I walked in, I'm not sure if it was because I am a tourist, on my own, or hadn't booked, but he was that rude, there was a passing glance from another customer. I just hope he doesn't treat all of his customers like that, I don't recommend going on this alone.

I went there to experience the traditional ‘buffet’ concept and some typical local food like Jota. I was not disappointed, everything was tasty, and the portions were generous enough. The service was quick and efficient. Is the proprietor as curt/brusque as some reviews here portray him? Yes, probably specifically to people who expect him to speak English without even asking first. I personally did not think he was rude, and I even saw him trade jokes with the locals. So, all in all… about 50% of a standard-issue French waiter?

The food was acceptable, just okay, but definitely not great. The service was terrible. We had made a reservation, and when we arrived, it took the waiter more than 15 minutes just to bring us the menu. He was also extremaly rude. The food also took forever to arrive, we waited more than an hour. When it finally came, it was okay, but for the price we paid, it was far from worth it. Honestly, it was a good thing we did not order a second course or dessert, given how terrible the service was.
